| Abstract/Notes | The Brejuí W-Mo skarn deposit is the main scheelite deposit of the Seridó tungsten province (Borborema province, NE Brazil). It constitutes the largest Brazilian W ore reserve. The orebodies are hosted in the metasedimentary Jucurutu Formation of the Seridó Group (650–610 Ma), close to the margin of the Neoproterozoic Acari pluton (Brasiliano orogeny). Skarns include prograde and retrograde mineral assemblages. Infrared spectral analysis shows that the skarns mainly reflect retrograde mineral assemblages, formed in three different hydrothermal alteration stages with overprinting. Mineral phases spectrally detected include (1) vesuvianite, actinolite, and phlogopite (alteration stage 1), (2) epidote, prehnite, and illite (alteration stage 2), and (3) laumontite, montmorillonite, chlorite, and gypsum (alteration stage 3; main ore zone). Phlogopite chloritization and actinolite recrystallization were observed in the main W-Mo skarn orebodies. Chloritization is marked by a displacement in the Fe-OH–related absorption wavelength (2,246.5–2,250.5 nm). A spectral index using spectral mixtures of laumontite + montmorillonite + actinolite is proposed here to map mineralized skarn layers (WO3 + Mo ≥ 0.1\\%) in drill cores. It was used to vector to richer mineralized bodies of the Brejuí deposit successfully and may be applied to similar skarn deposits with the same aim. |
